Over the next weeks students from the Limkokwing University will work with SOMESSO and Headshift creating case studies about the Imaginary Futures of the corporate environment. Students have the opportunity to work with leading brands such as Dachis Group, IBM, BT and Vodafone amongst others.

Students from various faculties will also help organising the Social Business Summit 2010, which prepares them to gain insights into the future of the corporate environment. Max Schleser, Lecturer in Creative Multimedia, at the Limkokwing University said: “This is an amazing opportunity for our students to engage in shaping and pioneering the future. Students will be exposed to new forms of collaboration and gain insights into customer engagement and creating new market ecosystems.” Through these inputs Limkokwing students are ahead of their time and can take a lead by the time of their graduation. SOMESSO and Headshift will be working closely together to enable the students to…]]> http://somesso.com/blog/2010/02/future-of-tomorrow/feed/ http://somesso.com/blog/2010/02/speaker-announcement/ http://somesso.com/blog/2010/02/speaker-announcement/#comments Mon, 22 Feb 2010 16:21:17 +0000 Judith http://somesso.com/?p=3599 With three weeks to go until the Social Business Summit 2010 at Limkokwing University, London on March 18, 2010 we no longer want to keep the names of our keynote speakers from you. Jeff Dachis, who is Founder and CEO of Dachis Group already announced his attendance at the Social Business Summit in London, Austin and Sydney (virtually). Jeff was on the list of Crain’s Top 40 under 40 and Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year in 2000. Read what what he will be talking about here.

Fifteen years ago, when coming up with the business thesis for Razorfish, a company I co-founded, we used to say “everything that can be digital, will be.” Now, over a decade later, we can look back and see that immense change the digital revolution has brought to our lives.

But in the world of work, we are only now seeing meaningful change. The technology is digital, but the way it is now changing the workplace is largely human and social - it is about people, culture, process and dynamics, as much as bits and bytes. We are now seeing what I think is the biggest change since the dot.com era in the rise of social computing in the workplace and social business design more broadly.

I find this incredibly exciting.

Social business has huge implications for business structure and organisational design, and I believe the way we organise will change thanks to the ease with which we can now find each other,…]]> http://somesso.com/blog/2010/02/jeff-dachis/feed/ http://somesso.com/blog/2010/02/erster-meetup-zurich/ http://somesso.com/blog/2010/02/erster-meetup-zurich/#comments Thu, 18 Feb 2010 10:22:45 +0000 Judith http://somesso.com/?p=3486 Der erste SOMESSO Meetup in Zürich wird am 31.

All three events are intended to engage with the leading practitioners on three continents and provide a global view of the market. The Social Business Summit (March 18, London) is invitation-only. Therefore, save the date and let us know if you wish to participate. Lee Bryant, CEO and co-founder of Headshift, calls upon on the next phase of social business design in companies:  The use of social tools in business is now progressing from the experimental stage to the beginning of mainstream adoption. As with all transformational technologies, organisational culture change and technology adoption are closely related, with both influencing the other in subtle but important ways. We want to look ahead and consider the impact of social tools on the way we organise, structure and manage knowledge- and people-intensive businesses in the future, both internally and externally.
